Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: idol light stick at 4.7 against CandyBong's 4.0. idol light stick also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (901 vs 24). CandyBong's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
